According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one out of 10 people get sick from eating contaminated food. Complex food production process and globalization make food supply chain more delicate. Many technologies have been investigated in recent years to address food insecurity and achieve efficiency in dealing…

Purpose: Supply chain has become very complex today. There are multiple stakeholders at various points. All these stakeholders need to collaborate with each other in multiple directions for its effective and efficient management. The manufacturers need proper information and data about the product location, its…

Accountability is widely understood as a goal for well governed computer systems, and is a sought-after value in many governance contexts. But how can it be achieved? Recent work on standards for governable artificial intelligence systems offers a related principle: traceability. Traceability requires establishing not…

Due to recurring food quality and safety issues, growing segments of consumers, especially in developed markets, and regulators in agri-food supply chains (AFSCs) require a fast and trustworthy system to retrieve necessary information on their food products. With the existing centralized traceability systems used in…

'Marco Arlorio'] The globalization of food markets has led companies to buy products not only locally, but also from other corners of the world. This has introduced complexity into supply chains, as products have to move longer distances and pass through more companies before reaching the end consumer. The meat…

The three major meat supply chains in emerging markets are traditional wet markets, integrated supply chains, and the more recent collaborative supply chains. Customers in these markets are increasingly demanding safe and high-quality meat, which requires more transparency in the supply chain. This paper presents a…

With the increase of web users and applications with real time requests, the ability to identify, track and trace elements of a product as it moves in the supply chain is deemed necessary, and for many industries is even mandated by national or international regulations. Traceability presupposes the integrity and…

Traceability systems are increasingly central to ensure food safety, quality, biosecurity, and sustainability in agrifood supply chains. Despite advances in digital technologies, adoption and effective implementation remain uneven, with many producers still relying on paper-based systems. This study examines the…

Chain Authors: ['Bart Gajderowicz' 'Mark S. Fox' 'Yongchao Gao'] The pursuit of quality improvements and accountability in the food supply chains, especially how they relate to food-related outcomes, such as hunger, has become increasingly vital, necessitating a comprehensive approach that encompasses product quality…

'António Raposo' 'Renata Puppin Zandonadi' 'Raquel Braz Assunção Botelho'] Technological advances result in new traceability configurations that, however, cannot always secure transparency and food safety. Even in cases where a system guarantees transparency, the actual consumer involvement and a real consumer-based…

Orthologs document the evolution of genes and metabolic capacities encoded in extant and ancient genomes. Orthologous genes that are detected across the full diversity of contemporary life allow reconstructing the gene set of LUCA, the last universal common ancestor. These genes presumably represent the functional…

Sequence-defined oligomers offer programmable molecular architectures with potential in data storage, authentication, and anticounterfeiting. However, their deployment in real-world materials has been constrained by their low scale, limited thermal resilience and the need for specialized analytical methods. Here we…

—Supply chain management, product provenance and quality certification are among the first and most popular applications of blockchain technology, due to the inherent trust and inalterability provided by the blockchain technology. However, the proposed supply chain management systems based on blockchain and smart…

Building the capacity of efficiently determining the provenance of food products represents a crucial step towards the sustainability of the global food system. Whether it is for enforcing existing egislation or providing reliable information to consumers, technologies to verify geographical origin of food are being…

Numerous food safety incidents have gained public attention and motivated consumers to seek safer and healthier products. Some governments have responded by enacting legislation to regulate the traceability of agricultural products and enhance food safety. To elucidate factors that affect consumers’ health and safety…

Palm oil accounts for approximately 50% of global vegetable oil production, and trends in consumption have driven large-scale expansion of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) plantations in Southeast Asia. This expansion has led to deforestation and other socio-environmental concerns that challenge consumer goods companies to…

The promotion of responsible and sustainable trade in biological resources is widely proposed as one solution to mitigate currently high levels of global biodiversity loss. Various molecular identification methods have been proposed as appropriate tools for monitoring global supply chains of commercialized animals and…

Animal feed production involves balancing nutritional quality, profitability and environmental sustainability. Although near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is currently used for real-time quality control of feed ingredients, we demonstrate that NIRS can also predict their environmental sustainability in a…

Accurate and reproducible dietary assessment remains a persistent challenge in clinical and nutritional sciences. We present a validated, liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the absolute quantification of 200 literature-curated food biomarkers across 500 single-ingredient food extracts…
